Be aware of Lyme Disease
In the fall of 2009, I noticed a lot of fatigue. I had mostly stopped golfing, fishing, going to the cabin, and I suspended most projects. My wife had a bad cold, and I thought that was my problem, too. I also had some issues with depression and anxiety, which I never had before.August 25, 2010

Things not right with Frazee superintendent contract
The Minnesota State law states that if one member of the Superintendent negotiating team (which in Frazee was Laine and Cook) meets with the Superintendent, it must be an open meeting. At the July 12 Frazee-Vergas School Board meeting, Board Chairperson Laine stated she was in to see Stender on Tuesday, July 6. She admitted that she got his contract proposal and had a “conversation” with him, but that there was no “meeting.”August 20, 2010
The rich need to pay their fair share of taxes 
The Republicans are hounding the Democrats to put people back to work as if they had a plan to do this. If Republicans do, why don’t they say where the jobs are? I know where the jobs are! They are overseas in China and other places where our businessmen have sent them to make money for themselves and the stock market.

Anderson Kelliher will be a governor for Detroit Lakes
Six months ago, thousands of DFLers gathered in classrooms, cafeterias, and libraries to begin the process of picking their next governor. I was honored to receive the overwhelming endorsement of the DFL party — an endorsement from thousands of Minnesotans who, like me, believe our best days are yet to come.

Hats off to Secretary of State Mark Ritchie
While some may be on vacation on August 10 and others say that no one is thinking of politics during the summer, I am pleased that our primary election has been moved to August 10.

Tired of gloom and doom news?

Thanks to DLCCC Backyard Addition donors
I was/am one of the individuals that was asked to help raise funds for the new Backyard addition. I would like to say thank you to all of the individuals and businesses I contacted. Every one of you said yes! Many of these individuals own businesses in Detroit Lakes and were generous enough to give to this great addition to our community.

Letters: Know where your kids are at
A recent experience influenced me to write this to the newspaper. I am 24 years old, and I own a home with my husband. A week or so ago, a few girls came over into my yard and asked to pet and play with my dog, Joesey.
